Carex acuta, commonly known as slender tufted-sedge, is a perennial sedge native to Europe and North America. It grows in wet habitats such as marshes, fens, and riverbanks, and produces green or yellowish-green leaves that form dense tufts. In the summer, Carex acuta produces inconspicuous flowers on tall stems above the foliage. It is a popular ornamental plant in water gardens and bog gardens due to its attractive foliage and ability to tolerate wet conditions.
Why we like it:
- Carex acuta is an excellent choice for wet areas in the garden, such as along the edges of ponds or streams.
- Its upright habit and dense tufts of foliage add texture and interest to the landscape.
- As a native plant, Carex acuta provides habitat and food for local wildlife, such as insects and birds.
What to know:
- Carex acuta prefers moist to wet soil conditions and can tolerate standing water.
- It will grow in full sun to partial shade.
- The plant can be propagated by dividing the clumps in the spring or fall.
- Carex acuta may require some maintenance to prevent it from spreading too aggressively.
- While it does produce flowers in the summer, they are not particularly showy, and the plant is primarily grown for its foliage.
